Our country is being run by madmen

Does Dick Cheney actually believe that there will be anything left worth presiding over after he gets his dream of global thermonuclear war?

The neocons want Israel to be their proxy in invading Syria:

The IDF is also concerned about a possible Syrian attack on Israel in response to the ongoing IDF operations in Lebanon. It is also known that Syria has increased its alert along the border out of fear in Damascus that Israel might attack Syria.

Defense officials told the Post last week that they were receiving indications from the United States that the US would be interested in seeing Israel attack Syria.

This is just insanity. Cheney may think his hands are clean if Israel attacks Syria, but the whole world will know just who's pulling the strings. And if Syria is attacked, then Iran gets into the game, and then all bets are off.

When your Republican friends say this is part of the war on terror, ask them if they think their children can survive global thermonuclear war -- and if a post-nuclear world is what they want their children to live in.

And this is the Administration Joe Lieberman supports wholeheartedly.
